mnealtx 0 #26 January 20, 2008 I'll try that, thanks. I was trying to annotate how this guy covered the song - I liked how he played it. It's similar to how my Dad used to play, and I'd love to learn how....just don't know if I have the skill.Mike I love you, Shannon and Jim.

DSE 5 #27 January 20, 2008 You know he's locked up, yeah? (Capo) It's a nice style. If you were on this side of the pond I could teach you fairly easily. It's a common style, and was huge in the late 60's cuz it's an easy teach/learn. too bad the camera work on that YouTube vid sucks so bad, he's got a nice style, nice voice, shitty light, and hand-held cam.

Yes, I noticed the capo - I've got one too, but I figure that people can set capo to suit their pitch. That's one of the downsides of me being overseas... lack of access to everything. I'm not sure how teachable I'd be... 7th grade music class was a long, LONG time ago!!Mike I love you, Shannon and Jim. POPS 9708 , SCR 14706 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
DSE 5 #29 January 20, 2008 My recommendation is that you capo to the same fret/key he's in and play along with him. Point your pinkie finger on your right hand out like a British sissy drinking tea. Think "Thumb down" on the downbeat, low E string. Think "ring finger pluck" on the 2, "bird/middle finger pluck" on the 3, and "index finger pluck" on the 4. Get that going, and then once you're following that sequence comfortably, you'll change out the ring and index to eighth notes on the 3/4 beat so it's "Thumb, 3,2,1,3, Thumb in the four-count. I wish I could show you, it's easy. Years ago, i'd have students buy a drum kneepad to practice finger picking, thumping out rhythms on the rubber when they weren't playing guitar. Watching TV, you can match beats/rhythms on the rubber pad and this creates muscle memory that will translate nicely to finger picking. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Zenister 0 #31 January 20, 2008 Quote Quote Bite your tongue! You'll never see a guy like Rudy Sarzo playing a Rick. Every note starts with "M" And Rudy, not Glenn, is the "real" Whitesnake bassist. Yep, got me! I confused "Phenomena" with Whitesnake....Neil Murray was another good one. As for Sarzo..maybe he's worked his way up to a Ric, by now. Coverdale, Lord, Paice, Moody, Murray & Marsden were the "real" Whitesnake....ya' know, before they got perms, broke their wrists and re-did "Here I Go Again"....badly. QFT.. Coverdale fired the old ugly brits when he got the trophy wife.. and the band was never as good again... love Riks need a new one... BTW Cliff Burton also played a rick ofc it had EMG's slapped in it :D____________________________________ Those who fail to learn from the past are simply Doomed.

Misternatural 0 #35 January 21, 2008 >> love to learn how....just don't know if I have the skill. if you can type you have the dexterity to finger pick. I learned by playing banjo for a short time. its basically thumb index and bird finger alternating different patterns, add more fingers later- also you can practice this while tapping those fingers on a desk or dashboard, then it becomes instinct. it's a very useful technique, I even use it when I play bass "What's all this then? I hope this isn't a bad time, is - is that a tiny human coming out there??" Geico gekkoBeware of the collateralizing and monetization of your desires.
